"Upa is a world-class defender who performs at the highest level and is in super shape. He is a really important player for us. There are intensive and very constructive talks. It's also a really important decision for him. He feels very comfortable with the team and the coach. We are positive; it doesn't matter if it happens a day earlier or later-for us, what's important is that it happens. It won't drag on endlessly anymore."
"As a coach, you always have an influence and a role. My role in this situation is purely sporting and focused on development. And that the player has the feeling that not everything is mixed up: performance and contract situation. Football must remain the priority - and that's what our conversations are about."
Dayot Upamecano's Bayern Munich contract expires at the end of the season, prompting interest from Real Madrid and PSG. Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund described Upamecano as a world-class defender in excellent physical shape and confirmed intensive, constructive talks aimed at securing his future at the club. Freund said the decision is important to the player and that the club expects the process to conclude without lengthy delay. Manager Vincent Kompany emphasized a purely sporting role focused on the player's development and insisted contract matters remain separate from performance. Bayern lead the Bundesliga by eight points after 13 games.
